Porcelain dinnerware brings timeless elegance to every table, but proper care is essential to keep it looking beautiful for years to come. Here are our top tips for maintaining your fine porcelain and crockery collection.
1. Hand Wash When Possible
While many modern porcelain pieces are dishwasher safe, hand washing with mild soap and warm water helps preserve delicate patterns, gold trims, and glazes for longer.
2. Avoid Sudden Temperature Changes
Porcelain can crack or develop fine lines when exposed to extreme temperature shifts. Always let hot dishes cool slightly before washing them under cold water.
3. Store with Care
Stack plates with a soft cloth or felt separator between them to prevent scratches. Store cups and glasses upright to avoid chips on the rims.
4. Handle Gold and Silver Detailing Gently
Pieces with metallic trims should never go in the microwave, and should be washed gently by hand to preserve their shine.
5. Use the Right Cleaning Products
Avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals. A soft sponge and gentle dish soap are all you need to keep your porcelain looking as elegant as the day you bought it.
